NBC's Olympic figure skating announcers were thrown for a loop
by the judging in the pairs competition Monday night.

The network's Scott Hamilton, Tom Hammond and Sandra Bezic were
certain they knew who had won the gold medal.

“

My heart breaks, and
I'm embarrassed for our sport right now. ”

The trio made it clear to viewers that Canada's Jamie Sale and
David Pelletier had outskated Russia's Elena Berezhnaya and Anton
Sikharulidze -- and then were shocked when the gold went to the
Russians by a one-judge margin.

"My heart breaks," Bezic said right before the medals
ceremony, "and I'm embarrassed for our sport right now."

After the Russians performed, with at least one noticeable
slip-up, the Canadians went about impressing NBC's talent. Near the
end of their 4½-minute routine, Hamilton set the stage for a final
key move.
